Unmasking Online Behavior: Investigating Narcissism, Impulsivity, and Ghosting Trends

Title: Unmasking Online Behavior: Investigating Narcissism, Impulsivity, and Ghosting Trends
Creator: Lepenioti Marina, Austin Anna Maria
Abstract: The internet, initially designed to connect people globally, now harbors dark trends where individuals use unconventional means to cause distress for entertainment. Two studies delved into these online behaviors associated with the dark tetrad. The first examined ghosting, revealing correlations with dark triad traits, destiny beliefs, and gender differences. The second explored trolling, strongly linking it to narcissism and gender, particularly noting higher levels in men, and impulsivity was also investigated, with anonymity being a crucial factor in trolling. Combining the findings from both studies sheds light on the complex factors fueling cyber aggression in online spaces.
